Zoomedia Teams Up With The Parkinson's Disease Foundation
SAN FRANCISCO, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- We are excited to announce
Zoomedia's engagement as the Internet communications partner for the
Parkinson's Disease Foundation. Zoomedia's initial engagement includes the
redesign of the Parkinson's Disease Foundation current website, PDF.org and
the website of the PDtrials campaign, PDtrials.org, a clinical research
education awareness initiative led by the Parkinson's Disease Foundation in
collaboration with other national Parkinson's organizations.
The Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF) is a national leader in
Parkinson's Disease research, education, and public advocacy. PDF is working
for the nearly one million people in the US who live with Parkinson's by
funding promising scientific research and supporting people with Parkinson's,
their families, and caregivers through educational programs and support
services. Since its founding in 1957, PDF has funded over $70 million worth of
scientific research in Parkinson's disease, supporting the work of leading
scientists throughout the world.
Zoomedia will develop a new graphic design and architecture for PDF.org
that broadcasts the mission and vision of the organization as it relates to
funding research, providing education to people with Parkinson's and
caregivers and supporting advocacy efforts to move the cause forward. The
website re-design seeks to engage current and new members of PDF's community,
including people with Parkinson's, researchers and scientists, and other
healthcare professionals.
The PDtrials campaign helps people living with Parkinson's to learn more
and make informed decisions about participating in clinical research.
PDtrials.org provides up-to-date information on Parkinson's clinical trials
currently enrolling participants in the U.S. The re-design of PDtrials.org
will feature updated search functions for clinical trials including a trial
locator by zip code - all intended to simplify the process of finding a
clinical trial.
At Zoomedia we are committed to supporting the Parkinson's Disease
Foundation in meeting their goals and bringing better treatments to people
living with Parkinson's as rapidly as possible while providing educational and
supportive programs directly to the Parkinson's community.
We will keep you posted on the launch of the new PDF.org and PDtrials.org
websites!
